------------------------------------------
> Read TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns from text files using custom
> formats
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-27199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27199
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Serializers/Deserializers
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-2
> Reporter: Stamatis Zampetakis
> Assignee: Stamatis Zampetakis
> Priority: Major
>
> Timestamp values come in many flavors and formats and there is no single
> representation that can satisfy everyone especially when such values are
> stored in plain text/csv files.
> HIVE-9298, added a special SERDE property, {{{}timestamp.formats{}}}, that
> allows to provide custom timestamp patterns to parse correctly TIMESTAMP
> values coming from files.
> However, when the column type is TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE (LTZ) it is
> not possible to use a custom pattern thus when the built-in Hive parser does
> not match the expected format a NULL value is returned.
> Consider a text file, F1, with the following values:
> {noformat}
> 2016-05-03 12:26:34
> 2016-05-03T12:26:34
> {noformat}
> and a table with a column declared as LTZ.
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE ts_table (ts TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE);
> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH './F1' INTO TABLE ts_table;
> SELECT * FROM ts_table;
> 2016-05-03 12:26:34.0 US/Pacific
> NULL
> {code}
> In order to give more flexibility to the users relying on the TIMESTAMP WITH
> LOCAL TIME ZONE datatype and also align the behavior with the TIMESTAMP type
> this JIRA aims to reuse the {{timestamp.formats}} property for both TIMESTAMP
> types.
> The work here focuses exclusively on simple text files but the same could be
> done for other SERDE such as JSON etc.
